Recommendations offered to president

To the editor:

A twelve-step program for our next president:

1. Stop spending our children?s future ? cut salary in half for all senators and congressmen until the debt comes down.

2. Stop supporting terrorist countries and start supporting people at home.

3. Capitalism must be brought back, it?s obvious socialism is not working.

4. Save billions ? abolish the IRS and go flat tax.

5. Save billions ? leave NATO ? send them packing out of New York.

6. Save billions ? make welfare recipients work for their money if able, clean roadsides, work at churches, food banks, hospitals, mow public properties, etc.

7. Bring back our companies that have been driven out by union wages, high taxes and greed. Charge 25 cents tax on very dollar coming into this country.

8. Support Israel in every way at any cost.

9. Increase military strength at home and on our borders, bring our troops home.

10. Destroy all terrorist training camps anywhere in the world, especially within our borders.

11. Any terrorist attack against Americans will be dealt with swiftly (no more war) ? keeping the CIA and special forces working.

12. Stop flag desecrating and burning of American flags. This is not freedom of speech, neither is protesting at a soldier?s funeral and calling yourself a Christian. These are crimes and should be dealt with as such. Offenders get a one-way ticket out of the country, their choice of destination.

Thank you for contemplating these steps for a stronger America.
